Hi, I am having a few problems being able to produce a good quality base map raster.
I would like to ask fellow GIS pros this question whichwill provide the base map for a geoserver app. I need to create a base map for a very large area approx 5000km². This will then be somehow imported into geoserver to be served as a base layer. I am slightly worried firstly about the size of the resulting image, and obviously getting a high enough resolution so that the map can be zoomed into at least 1:1000. Using ArcMap I have to zoom out to the max resolution and then create a geojpg at around 1000dpi to get a reasonable quality...This is very time consuming and prone to crashes. Is there any better software than ArcMap for producing such a base map? Would this best be done as a mosaic of say..20 x 100mb tifs...or as one 2gb tif?....what methods do people generally use for such a task? Is there a kind of best practise regarding getting this into geoserver? I would be very interested to hear how others achieve this.
